at Washington, has died since his return 10 Eu-
rope. IL was he whose military uniform, worn on
state occasions, when court dress was required had
long horses tail tblackD dangling from the cap
1t is said that Nine de strive Is trying her best TO
get her husband appointed 10 a European mission,
and as she has great influence at the Russian
tn-waiting she would have succeeded In securing
the coveted appointment long ago but for the fact
or Russia by 20 MANY OILERS who must have the
preference when vacancy occurs In a station
for ambassador from Russia In any part OF
Europe. Il was through the influence OF theslady,
now his wife, that NJ. de Strive, who was In the
consular service, which is wholly distinct from the
diplomatic, was promoted from consul general to
be minister before their marriage she insisting
10 her friends at court that he must receive this
promotion before She married him. Accordingly
he was sent 10 Japan as minister aud took nis
wife with him, and then he was appointed 10 Wash
ington. Before he can be appointed 10 q European
court he must be made an Ambassador, higher
grade than an "enyoy extraordinary and minister
